The Greatest Showman (2017)
Added 2025-01-16 08:00:12 +0000 UTC
It was the week between Christmas and New Years so the substitute teacher rolled in the A/V setup and instead of class we watched a movie. That's right! It's time to stand in a circle slam-dancing together, celebrating that freak marriage is finally legal! Former guest P.T. Barnum stars in this rollicking ahistorical romp. Guys, it's so bad.
Hey, do you like COMEDY?! Catch Mattie on tour with Gender Ordeal, in DC, San Francisco, Portland, or Seattle this month and next! Get your tickets here.

I strongly invite Riley to listen to Great Comet of 1812 if moving the plot is an issue for him

2025-05-10 01:22:48 +0000 UTCEntering the chat to recommend as always the Honest Trailers musical episode of Greatest Showman, plus their hour long horrified angry commentary episode. If you have the time - "I owned a slave, I killed six whales, gave a monkey a fish tail"

2025-03-14 21:08:18 +0000 UTCGod it's wild thinking about a movie I saw that came out when I was an adult but before I realized I was a woman. Yikes

2025-01-21 03:44:38 +0000 UTCReferring to the theater critic, "we have to make sure PT Barnam owns this guy" but crucially NOT the way PT Barnam actually owned a person

2025-01-20 14:28:00 +0000 UTCUnder Paris - the Netflix film in which a giant shark starts wreaking havoc in the Seine, is Mayor Cinema. The Mayor is more concerned with the forthcoming triathlon than the deadly shark even though the athletes are to be swimming in the very same river as the shark. Stupid yet underseen enough to be worth an episode, probably.

2025-01-19 06:40:22 +0000 UTCGonna steal "tri-state area jewish f*g" thats so good and describes my sister and I very well thank you. (also censoring the f slur because i've only kissed like a couple guys and haven't paid Mattie and November the $5000+ transistion fee yet, have been called it on the street though!)

2025-01-17 22:13:21 +0000 UTCCould any Herzog movie be considered a heist movie?

2025-01-17 17:16:19 +0000 UTCSounds like they just started with the title and then reworked everything else until it fit. Might have been better off if they just ignored history and the museum completely and made him a circus guy from the start, and then after he passes away on his deathbed surrounded by his beloved freaks, clowns, and miscellaneous carnies the screen fades to black and the text "There's a sucker born every minute" pops up on the screen.

2025-01-17 06:19:54 +0000 UTCThe Jenny Lind ultras make sense when you remember that before the release of "The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station" everyone was Dogtooth bored.

2025-01-17 05:52:22 +0000 UTCIt makes sense that Michelle William's father is an immortal being powered by vengeful purpose since he is the Yellow-Eyed Demon from Supernatural.

2025-01-17 00:23:26 +0000 UTCRiley a big WTF for being the only person who could have lead me down this Wikipedia rabbit hole: “Williams won the 1987 World Cup Championship of Futures Trading from the Robbins Trading Company, where he turned $10,000 to $1,137,600 (11,376%) in a 12-month competition with real money which is still the highest return ever in the world cup. Ten years later, his daughter, actress Michelle, won the same contest.[11] His son, Jason, a psychiatrist, has written a book on the personality of winning traders, The Mental Edge in Trading.[12]”

2025-01-16 16:22:54 +0000 UTCI saw this movie on a plane right before I got the sickest I had ever been and then began a life time of chronic illness. I haven't ruled out the possibility that it cursed me
